We love our dance companions and we hope you’ll help us celebrate every member, both four-legged and two. Life sometimes takes us in different directions. Some have moved away, some have retired, some have moved on to enjoy other things, and sadly, some have crossed over the rainbow bridge. It doesn’t matter the reason — they continue to dance with us in spirit. Please enjoy learning about them too!
